Back for a Saturday - walking to Pak A for a partay

It was Gay Williamson's party on Saturday - what a pleasure.  She invited a whole lot of friends from our, her, and surrounding villages.  It started off with a bus ride to the Sai Kung country park, and then a 10km walk to this teeny little village with no road access, at which Mal, Gay's husband has a part-time restaurant.  And then home from there by junk (so after the first 10 you are done, there's no having to walk back - which I think is a critical part of the design.

The gang this morning, crossing the Highlands Reservoir's wall - the little people having a little run to catch up.

The whole village is in this photo.  The restaurant is self evidently the space with the awning.  It was lovely.  Cool but sunny often, water was crystal clear/

People were in a good space, here is Elize who is off to Australia to study further in February.

Ange and I soaking up the welcome sun.

Ian, who lives now in Phuket was visiting.  Lovely guy, but hard, and doing some pretty high risk work (in the energy industry; he builds fracking rigs - at one stage in far flung places like Khazakstan.  Really.


Yeah, right. How big a fish?  Mal explains.  I liked the T-shirt, the image is something out of Africa-Burn.
Ange on deck waiting for the junk to set sail, chatting.  Cool sky in the background I thought - subtle but dramatic.

The other junk (of two, this one carrying all the food and equipment) heading home.
